Report: Crystal Palace could replace Olise with a former Tottenham player

According to a report in Sky Sports (as relayed by TEAMtalk), Crystal Palace could now push ahead with an offer to sign Sporting Lisbon winger, Marcus Edwards, who has been linked with a potential return to Tottenham this summer.

Could Tottenham re-sign Marcus Edwards?

A number of outlets over the past couple of months have said that Spurs want to re-sign Edwards, who departed the club back in 2019 to move to Portugal.

This includes Football.London, who pointed out back in May that Tottenham may be able to sign the winger on a discount since they still have a 35 per cent sell-on clause.

Last week, A Bola revealed that Sporting have made it clear they are looking to sell the Englishman, with the Portuguese giants allegedly wanting around €25m-€30m for the attacker.

Palace could make a move for Marcus Edwards

Sky Sports have revealed that Palace have now identified Edwards as a potential replacement for Micheal Olise and could soon press ahead with a move for the former Tottenham man.

The report claims that the 25-year-old is keen on returning to the Premier League this summer and that an offer of around £20m could be enough to clinch the deal.

It is pointed out that due to the sell-on clause that Spurs have, they would be owed around £7m if Edwards moves to Selhurst Park in a £20m deal.

Spurs Web Opinion

If Tottenham were serious about their pursuit of Edwards, they would have likely got the deal done or at least made significant progress on it by now.

The fact that their interest has not gone beyond the exploratory stage suggests that Ange has better options in mind, possibly Pedro Neto.
